Red Dot Award: Product Design begins. Call for entries

From everyday to unusual, participants can this year choose between 48 product categories for their submission.

Designers and companies from around the world then have until 1 February 2019 to submit products from all areas of daily life for a chance to win an award at one of the world’s largest design competitions.

The first of the three registration phases, which allows participants to benefit from a discounted registration fee, ends on 9 November.

Experience and expertise get straight to the point

For more than 60 years, a jury consisting of experienced experts from different specialist fields have been coming together to search out the best designs of the year.

Over the course of an evaluation process that lasts several days, they try out and discuss the products, and eventually reach a well-founded decision on the design quality of the submissions.

In line with the motto “In search of good design and innovation”, during the assessment process, they look for criteria such as the level of innovation, functionality, formal quality, durability and ergonomics.
